Please do not do this. Using ||= tests if the variable is *true*,
not if it is *defined*. A legitimate value of zero would therefore
be set to an empty string with the above code.
Overall, using a COALESCE or similar statement (as mentioned earlier)
is probably a cleaner approach anyways, as it keeps the translation
close to the data.
